Patent EP-1321113-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHAN FRANK W
IPC: A61F2/32
Filed: 2002-12-12
Abstract: A prosthetic component is configured to have intentional interruptions in an articulating
face thereof. The intentional interruptions are configured to yield an optimum contact area
or bearing surface, particularly with regard to low wear and greater lubricity through the
application of lubrication and contact mechanics theory for the particular prosthetic
component. Such optimization is applied to a wide range of prosthetic component sizes of
the particular prosthetic component. The optimum range of percentage area of relief or
interruptions, defined as a percentage of a baseline uninterrupted bearing surface area to be
removed by the features of the interrupted bearing surface configuration is from 0.3% to
73.7% for hard-on-hard bearing components and from 5.7% to 83.2% for polyethylene-on-hard
bearing components. The range for both hard-on-hard and polyethylene-on-hard
implants translates to a relieved area ranging from 0.3% to 31.9% of the area of the entire
articulating surface, depending on the size of the implant. For both hard-on-hard and
polyethylene-on-hard bearing combinations, optimally decreasing the contact area or
bearing surface by interruptions in the articulating surfaces will allow for the benefits of
larger diameter prosthetic components with an increased range of motion and decreased
potential for dislocation, and the low frictional torques and lower wear of smaller diameter
components.

Abstract: A seam plate for use in connection with securing membrane sheets
to underlying roof decking substructure comprises a substantially
rectangular plate (10, 110) having a central aperture (31, 131) for
receiving a bolt fastener. Upstanding rib structure is provided upon the
plate so as to provide different regions thereof with different rigidity,
flexibility, and bendability properties. The rib structure can have, for
example, a substantially diamond-shaped configuration (18) or an X-shaped
configuration (118) for respectively providing corner regions of
the plate with increased or decreased flexibility. A plurality of
downwardly extending projections (64, 164), having substantially V-shaped
cross-sectional configurations, are provided upon the underside of
the seam plate so as to engage the membrane sheets and retain the same at
their desired locations upon the underlying roof deck substructure
assembly. The projections are arranged within longitudinally and
transversely separated pairs so as to be dispersed throughout the extent of
the plate so as to distribute pressure loads throughout the underlying
membrane and thereby prevent tearing and rupture of the underlying
membrane.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un groupe motopompe hydraulique présentant une pompe de système hydrostatique qui alimente en fluide sous pression un système de travail hydraulique par l'intermédiaire d'un raccord de pression, une deuxième pompe qui permet d'aspirer un fluide sous pression par l'intermédiaire d'une ouverture d'admission et de l'acheminer à une zone basse pression de la pompe de système, et un moteur électrique qui présente une enveloppe de boîtier et qui entraîne les deux pompes à la fois. L'objectif de l'invention est de créer un groupe motopompe hydraulique qui permet de limiter les pertes de puissance dans le système de travail et autorise un fonctionnement de longue durée sans que la température du fluide sous pression augmente pour atteindre des valeurs entraînant des fuites accrues et un vieillissement rapide du fluide sous pression. A cet effet, la pompe de système est une pompe à cylindrée variable, notamment à pression régulée, et le fluide sous pression peut être refoulé par la deuxième pompe en circulant de l'ouverture d'admission à une ouverture de reflux, en passant par un circuit de refroidissement, et en contournant la pompe de système.

Abstract: The combination of narrowband applications with broadband transport may be enabled with an intermediate signaling protocol that supports narrowband inter-domain bearer independent call control (BICC) signaling over a broadband network. For each setup request carried by the BICC signaling protocol, a seize device message is forwarded from a narrowband call control node to an intermediate entity responsible for converting the seize device message into a broadband endpoint request message. The interworking entity obtains broadband endpoint information from a selected broadband endpoint and creates a dynamic device representing the selected broadband endpoint. The dynamic device is used in the establishment of inter-domain switch connections.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a physical layer device ("PHY") in
an Ethernet network include methods and systems for detecting active link
partners and for selecting a mode of operation based on detected active link
partners. The PHY monitors fiber link media and copper link media for active
link partners. The PHY selects a mode of operation according to detected
active link partners. For example, a copper mode of operation is selected,
preferably through logic circuitry, when an active copper link partner is
detected and an active fiber link partner is not detected. Similarly, a fiber
mode of operation is selected, preferably through logic circuitry, when an
active fiber link partner is detected and an active copper link partner is not
detected. The PHY interfaces with the active copper link partner when the
copper mode of operation is selected. Similarly, the PHY interfaces with the
active fiber link partner when the fiber mode of operation is selected. The
copper or fiber mode of operation can be prioritized for when active copper
and fiber link partners are detected. The prioritized mode can be user
selectable or factory set. The invention optionally powers down circuitry
associated with an unselected mode of operation.
